PC Advisor further noted that PlayStation 4.5 is coming out in September and this new model will have 4K support along with advanced virtual reality functionalities.

Keep in mind that both Sony and Microsoft are yet to reveal any details on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Two respectively. Lawyer Herald reported that both will come with 4K and VR support, and will release in 2019. They also reported that both these devices could be the last traditional gaming console releases from both companies.

In this Digital Age, you can basically do or obtain anything physical on a digital platform. Reports indicate that the upcoming PlayStation 5 will be a lot different from the consoles we are currently used to.

Some mobile phones are already turning into good gaming consoles and with the rise of VR, it seems like PlayStation 5 and Xbox Two hardware could be in danger.

During his interview in London, with The Guardian’s Changing Media Summit, Emmett said that console lifecycles could be in danger when considering the current consumer market and gradual trends.

The lifespan of a console will decrease from the usual duration of 5 years due to the speed of changing technologies. Consoles will need to be more versatile in order to last in the future.

Emmett Shear is not the only one, the Chief Product Officer at EEDAR, Geoffrey Zatkin, said that according to his estimates, Wii U, PS4, and Xbox One could be the last lineup of traditional gaming consoles. Meanwhile, it is also possible that Microsoft and Sony will change the pattern of Xbox 2 and PlayStation 5.

Both these companies are working on their own VR technologies and it will be some time before either of these consoles is released. From the looks of it, both these technology giants will work on their VR technology before moving onto these consoles.
